Brief Answer:
Get PS for MP done and meanwhile take zerodol-p two times a day

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to HCM Mr. XXXX
This is Dr Amit. Let me help you in this case.
From your presentation it seems that it can be malaria which is caused by Plasmodium species.
Clinical symptoms of malaria includes Paroxysm of fever, shaking chills, sweats, Myalgia, Fatigue etc which is very well correlating with your presentation.
I will advice you to do Peripheral smear (PS) examination for malarial parasites (MP) for the confirmation of malaria, though it should be taken exactly at the time you are having the chills and fever. Meanwhile till the report comes you can take zerodol-p two times a day for the symptomatic relief. After the positive report start antimalarial drugs after consulting your physician.
Feel free to ask if you have any other doubts
